As the game title implies, Al Unser, Jr. Arcade Racing is an action oriented
racing game. While the game is set in the IndyCar racing league, not all 15
courses feature the trademark oval design; some of them are with curves and
chicanes.

The game is designed for quick and easy experience, which means the only
diversion from pushing the gas pedal is using the manual gear shifting – and
this can be deactivated. There are overall three playing modes (plus
multiplayer): practice, a championship with all 15 courses and a checkpoint
race on any course.
